  The Nationals reassigned Young to minor-league camp Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. Young was among the 10 players sent to minor-league camp during Washington's first wave of spring cuts. The Nationals selected Young in the minor-league Rule 5 draft earlier this offseason after Arizona outrighted him off its 40-man roster in late November. He saw action in 58 games for the Diamondbacks in 2021, hitting .209 with six home runs and 15 RBI across 104 plate appearances.
